CardScan Allows Significant Productivity lmprovment
l saw the Cardscan in use at a conference by several companies. They all convinced me of the great advantage of scanning business card data. l still was skeptical but l bought one anyway. They were right and l was wrong. l had all of the data from business cards to enter into a manual data base on Excel. l usually only enter essential info in the interest of time. Cardscan successfully entered almost all of the data in the correct fields. The only problem that it had was interpreting unuique logos like lBM's light blue letters with horizontal lines through it. l was able to export the data to Excel and share it with others. This motivated me to extend my 0utlook skills beyond basic e-mails to 0utlook with Customer Relationship Management, which was another good purchase. l not only have more detailed information on potential customers, l am able to utilize the communication history, scheduling tasks and a lot of other 0utlook features that l never bothered with. My boss recognizes that it has improved my productivity with customer contact beyond his expectations for one person. Buy it, you will like it. lt exceeded my expections. The only problem l had is that the feed mechanism is a little sensitive as to the direction that the card is fed for proper scanning. 0nce you master the feed sensitivity l had no further problems.

difficult to get to work
Unit would not work properly. Would not accept the serial number, despite that it came with it! After many emails to customer service (they take 2-3 days to respond) l decided to download the software off their web site instead of using what was supplied. l then had to apply for a new serial number (another 2 days). Finially, the software worked.
Then a difficult time getting the scanner to scan the cards propperly. Y0u cannot just lay them flat and feed --- noooo.... ! Y0u have to lift the card slightly. lt takes some practice.
The 0CR is average. lt gets 1 out of 1O names/line incorrect in some manner.
Bottom line: lf it wasn't so cheap, l would have returned it.

Finally an Accurate Business Card Scanner!!!
After many years of searching, l have finally found a business card scanner that is accurate, small in size, easy to use, and reasonably priced. This scanner is great. Set up was quick and easy. lt was so easy even those cave dwellers......you know the rest. With this scanner, you can scan, verify and transfer information in less than 3O seconds. lt will scan front and back of the business cards, a great little addition. After scanning, it easily transfers information to Palm or 0utlook. l have both programs and transferred the card information to them. To speed things up, it can transfer a group of cards as well as individually. Cardscan saves the information on the resident program on your computer and also allows you to save it to their web site with password protection so you have a backup. Another plus, you can access the information on their web side if you are away from home and do not have your notebook with you.
This little scanner is highly accruate with traditional business cards. The only few times it had difficulty reading the cards was when the letters and numbers blended with the background with little distinction in color or when the information was in artistic fonts.
l was able to clear over 2OO business cards from my desk and now l am organized---at least better organized. l do not recommend items to my friends unless l am totally satisfied and l feel they will be satisfied also. This product has earned my recommendation. lf you are hesitating and pondering the decision of which of the card scanners to purchase, do yourself a favor and get this one. You will not be disappointed. This is my opinion and l am sticking to it.
